Turkey e-Visa Requirements for Citizens of Kuwait

Applicants for the Turkey e-Visa should read through the visa requirements for Kuwaitis before beginning their application. Some of these conditions are summarized below:

• Passport with a validity of 6 months or more on their arrival date
• 2 blank pages available on the same passport
• Credit or debit card
• Email address
• Having bought their travel tickets to Turkey

Kuwaitis must ensure they have a passport that will be valid for 6 months or more on their arrival date in Turkey. It should contain at least two blank pages to receive entry and exit stamps by border officials.

Kuwaiti requesters will also need an email address to register with. This will be where their final Turkey e-Visa is sent following approval. We recommend they supply an email id they frequently use. They will require a debit or credit card to pay the visa processing fee that has been previously activated for online payments.

Lastly, when Kuwaiti citizens begin their application process for the Turkey e-Visa, some of the questions will concern their travel itinerary. Therefore we recommend they have booked their travel tickets before they initiate the e-Visa request.

Kuwaitis interested in traveling to Turkey for reasons other than business or tourism such as higher studies, full-time employment, and need to stay in the country for over a month must organize a visit to the Turkish embassy in Kuwait City for further details.

Kuwaiti passport holders who find the e-Visa meets their travel preferences can go ahead and initiate the application process. The process includes a quick and straightforward questionnaire that can be filled in online. Kuwait requesters must answer these personal questions:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• Residential address
• Email id
• Phone number

They will also have to provide some of their passport details:

• Passport number
• Passport issue and expiry date
• Nationality

Lastly, they will also have to share details about their travel plans:

• Dates of travel
• Tickets
• Accommodation proof

We recommend that Kuwaiti applicants carefully review their answers for any mistakes or typos before submitting their form, as it cannot be edited once delivered. Any errors can hold up the evaluation process or even lead to a denial of their application.

Once Kuwaiti nationals have completed their e-Visa application, the Turkish government evaluates it. The evaluation is usually processed within 24 hours. Nevertheless, we recommend Kuwaiti visitors request at least 3 business days before their arrival to account for busy touristic periods.

Kuwait applicants will receive their Turkey e-Visa on a link in a confirmation email. Once they receive it, they should download it and print out a copy to carry with them on their arrival to Turkey.

Travelers from Kuwait should note the visa on arrival is not available to them. They should have previously obtained a valid travel permit before they reach Turkey. The e-Visa is the most convenient and preferred option for Kuwaitis.
